Default arnold in the news

recently ive been hearing arnolds name in the news...something about him and his contract with fitness magazine. i was hoping someone else could fill me in a little bit better on this. from my understanding people dont think its would be fair that he could vote against supplements whens hes working for a company that supports them? (been working alot the last few days havent had time to look more into it, and figured this would be a good topic to discuss since hes a bodybuilding icon)

He is giving up his million-dollar-a-year contract with Flex and Muscle & Fitness because of a conflict of interest. He vetoed a bill that would have toughened oversight of supplements. It's a conflict, because the people who are paying Arnold all that money rely largley on revenue from ads from those very same supplement companies who benefitted from the veto.
